The Simpsons are up for action and bringing their "A" game! The Simpsons have come to play, and they are breaking all the rules! First, when Mayor Quimby rescinds the order for Daylight Saving Time in Springfield, a loophole in the city charter causes a time zone free-for-all! Then Homer recalls his Happy Days when he had to choose between his high school sweetheart and a lovely young debutante, who also happens to be Mr. Burns’ niece. Also, after Marge takes pity on him, Ned Flanders moves in with the Simpsons, and his goody good-diddly-ness, makes everyone as pleased as punch (except for Homer)! Get your "Game On!" with the Simpsons!

These Simpsons comics are always a bit corny, filled with puns, dad jokes and in-your-face pop culture references, but there's something about them that I find comforting.
The Simpsons graphic novels are almost always a solid five star read for me, but this one was just slightly below the mark. For one thing this was longer stories, rather than the short form stories most of the graphic novels consist of. It was still a good read, but just didn't quite reach the usual level of the series to me.
